Wiffle Ball

According to Capotrio, the first Octorara Wiffle Ball Tournament was held in 2011. “The tournament founder was Phil Rudisill, an Octorara High School teacher and assistant baseball coach,” he said. “The tournament (continues to be a) way for the booster program to raise money for the (Octorara) Junior-Senior High School baseball teams for equipment, field maintenance and other important items.”

In addition to crowning the tournament champions, organizers award a prize for the best-dressed team in each division. “People get creative. Sometimes they dress as branches of the military,” said frompg 1

Capotrio. “Somebody wore pajamas one year - whatever you can think of.”

Spectators are also invited to attend. “We are encouraging all members of the community, whether they are participating or not, to come out to this fun event,” Capotrio said. “We will have good concessions, cool (giveaways) and some good wiffle ball.”
